WATERCO TRIMLINE CARTRIDGE FILTERS

The Waterco Trimline Cartridge Filters do not require a media such as sand or D.E powder to operate,

instead the lter contains a cartridge element which is easily removed to clean or replace.

All Trimline Cartridge Filters are ideal for use in swimming pool and spas. The Trimline Cartridge

Filters is also ideal for use when backwashing is impractical.

INSTALLATION

Remove the cartridge lter from the carton and install the pressure gauge into the threaded port

on the lter lid provided. Using Teon, wrap once around the brass pressure gauge thread in a

clockwise direction and screw into the threaded lid port.

Place the Trimline Cartridge Filter into the required position. Ensure that it is on a at level surface

and is aligned with the pump.

The Trimline Cartridge Filter has marked inlet and outlet ports.

Ensure that the pipe extending from the pump outlet is connected to the Trimline Cartridge Filter

marked inlet.

Screw the supplied half barrel unions and tails onto the inlet and outlet before gluing the UPVC

piping onto the lter.

Cut and t the pipe and ttings onto the Trimline Cartridge Filter and the pump. REFER to Pump

Installation Manual for correct pump plumbing procedures.

It is best practice to t all the cut pipe and ttings onto the ltration system before gluing; this will

ensure that the system has been aligned correctly.

Glue the pipe and ttings onto the pump, lter and pool return lines and allow the glue to set for

24 hours before commissioning the system.

It is advisable to bolt the lter down to the oor where the lter is located. This will prevent the

ltration plumbing from working with dyna bolts loose with the expansion and operation of the

lter during regular cycles. It will also help to prevent unecessary stress on the plumbing while

unscrewing the lter lid lock ring.

Hand tighten the pressure gauge into the lid only for sealing.

CAUTION

Use only the recommended glue for the connection pipes and ﬁttings.

CAUTION

START UP PROCEDURE

The Trimline Cartridge Filter is a simple and effective unit which will provide years of trouble free

service if the following maintenance procedures are maintained.

To start up the ltration system either from new or after cleaning is exactly the same.

1. Ensure that all valves installed before or after the lter are open.

2. Ensure that the lter is plumbed correctly. Pipe from pump outlet must be attached to the lter

inlet port.

3. Loosen the air bleed screw on top of the lter lid.

4. Prime the swimming pool pump.

(Refer to the pump installation and operation manual).

5. Turn on the swimming pool pump and allow the pump to run until all the air has been expelled

from the lter vessel. Water will run from the air bleed screw.

6. Tighten the air bleed screw.

7. The lter is primed and ready for operation.

In some cases this may be required to be done a few times before the unit will remain primed and

be fully operational.

Do not stand over the lid whilst adjusting the air bleed to purge the system of air.

Injury may occur if air bleed valve comes loose.

CAUTION

MAINTENANCE

To ensure that you get maximum life from your Trimline Cartridge Filter you will need to maintain

the lter regularly.

When the lter is rst started and has been purged of air, note the pressure on the pressure gauge.

This is what is known as the lter operation pressure and it is important that you be aware of this

gure.

All ltration systems will operate at different pressures depending on the pool hydraulics.

You will need to clean the lter cartridge (element) once the pressure gauge has reached 50 kPa

above the operating pressure.

The Trimline Cartridge Filter has a maximum operating pressure of 350 kPa (for moulded PP

housing).

EXAMPLE: Filter operates normally at 60 kPa needs to be cleaned at 110 kPa.

Waterco Trimline Cartridge Filters I pg 03

CLEANING

1. Unscrew the filter’s lid lock ring and remove the lid off the filter tank. In some cases where

pressure has built up you will need to release air from the tank using the air bleed screw before

removing the lid.

2. Remove the cartridge element from the lter tank.

3. Using a garden type hose clean the surface of the pleated elements. Make sure to clean between

the pleats.

4. Place the cartridge back into the lter tank ensuring that it is seated correctly.

5. Place the lid onto the tank and screw the lock ring down.

6. Ensure to place the lid o-ring on the lid before you start up the lter.

7. Refer to the start up procedure to re commence operation.

It is suggested that you should periodically remove the cartridge lter element and soak it over

night in a suitable cartridge cleaning compound. This will remove any debris not removed by hosing

down of the element.

Some swimming pool stores offer a cartridge cleaning service using the correct solutions otherwise

you may wish to use Waterco Cartridge cleaning solution. Directions of use are on the product.

The cleaning time depends upon the swimming pool condition and use. Intervals between cleaning

the element should not exceed a period of 12 months in any instance.

Do not over tighten the lid lock ring.
